I love it when people try pop psychology on me. I have my psychological weak points, but overconfidence isn't one of them.

I'm not excusing anything. I'm actively promoting the growth of bullying here.

You excused your bullying with a rather outdated interpretation of rational social action. Lame.

Everybody's a bully. Or at least, everybody tries to be a bully in their own way.

15 year olds talk like this.

I'd like to see where you read that I "excused" anything.

I think bullying clearly means not funny.

Playful jabs, intellectual duels, can be amusing. We're talking just plain rude, hammering kinds of things. Responding to those with jabs tends to legitimize them. And yeah, sometimes its not easy to come up with a witty rejoinder. So what.

The question is, do those kinds of attacks raise the level of the place, or lower it. Are they "Poly positive"?

I think that sometimes people excuse their personal attacks with this rhetoric. Afterwards they say "just kidding." Not cool.

I dont have my references handy, but my impression is that the notion of insecurity being often at the root of bullying is far from only "pop" psychology.

The insecurity (an inferiority complex) would be the cause of bullying, only if the personal attack are frequent and repeated. Which would also display a neurotic behavior, only if it' frequent and repeated.

The theory of libido as a expression of will of power was "thought" by Alfred Adler and became mainstream by his consistent work in the beginning of the century. . : hey LoTM, he was jewish..

no. no they don't.

On a side note;

Carl Jung wrote an interesting book in which he interpret one case of neurosis using the theory of Freud and using the theory of Adler.

Which would make him believe that the libido is not entirely an expression of eros or a will of power.

Awesome, but no one uses those three psychologists anymore except in movies and history of psych books.
